It is a puzzle

Well this is weird. From the letters page of the WashPost:

How many times in the history of man has the 21-letter answer to "23 Across" in the Sunday [July 17] crossword puzzles of both The Post and the New York Times been the same?

Piracy?

BENJAMIN W. BOLEY
Washington
Aaarrrrr, ‘tis a mighty pun, Mr. Boley! The answer for both is “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Here’s the WashPost Sunday crossword puzzle (the NYT wants money).

Perhaps both puzzlemakers favorite ride?

Disneyland opened July 17, 1955. This last sunday was the 50th anniversary of the opening.
